To all you naysayers who said the Chaminade "system" of having only Jrs and Srs on varsity would never change. How you like dem apples? Times are a changin' big time. And it's a healthy thing, not something to be afraid of and to protect an outdated philosophy. Traditions are meant to be broken. Enjoy those Soph parents cheering their studs on that varsity field while the Sr parents stew about the bad decision of moving to Chaminade just for lax. LMFAO.


FYI no Sophomores moved up. Everything was status quo at Chaminade. All players were practicing with their respective squads. No one moved from any teams.


The way it should be. Although some sophomores show talent amongst their own age group. Playing varsity is a huge step, and they are not likely to stand out or play any better than the current starters. Just because Ty Xanders has mentioned you, it does not mean you will make any impact on a varsity squad. There are maybe 2 players at Chaminade now who could be college All-Americans. Otherwise a very average bunch, not to be compared with stars of the past!


Playing Varsity is not a "huge step" 9th and 10th graders are playing on just about all of the top public teams.

Ward Melville beat Chaminade Varsity with three freshmen and three sophomores on the field. They also play for the same club teams as many if the Chaminade soph's. Not a stretch to say some of the Chaminade soph's would have a positive impact on the varsity.

It is unfortunate but true, in this day and age High School Lacroose is no longer the most competitive outlet for scholastic age kids.

The top club teams on Long Island draw the top players from many of the top High School teams.

The top 91 and Express teams have some of the best players from Syosset, Massapequa, Ward Melville, Manhasset, Chaminade , St Anthony's, and others. The teams that they compete against have the best players from other areas around the country. Many of the 9th and 10th graders on these teams start and contribute on their respective varsity squads.
